I just saw this movie, which was interesting as I saw a documentary on the same thing earlier this year. Just to correct the previous viewer the shoulder flashes on the Commander (James Caan) show "Canada", so I assume he was an Canadian not an American. I did not hear any explanation why a Canadian was in charge during the movie, as often happens. The British did not let colonials command that much, so it would have been interesting to see why, but it most likely they used a Canadian because James Caan is an American actor and the accent is similar, and it is more likely an Canadian would be involved rather than an actual American Navel person. So they just put Canada flashes on his should and all it good.
The movie itself was kind of methodical, and the special effects so-so, but overall, I found it interesting anyway being interested in this kind of fiction based on fact WWII movies.
